Williamson-Hall analysis in estimation of lattice strain in nanometer-sized ZnO particles

AbstractZnO nanoparticles were prepared by coprecipitation method at 450C. X-ray diffraction result indicates that the sample is having a crystalline wurtzite phase. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) result reveals that the ZnO sample is spherical in shape with an average grain size of about 50nm. X-ray peak broadening analysis was used to evaluate the crystalline sizes […]

Oblique propagating whistler mode wave with parallel AC electric field at magnetosphere of Uranus

AbstractOblique propagating electromagnetic whistler mode instability has been studied having a k vector at angle to ambient magnetic field for bi-Maxwellian distribution function with parallel AC electric field in the magnetosphere of Uranus. The dispersion relation and growth rate have been calculated for plasma parameters suited to the magnetosphere of Uranus by using the method […]

Investigation on the dependence of optical spectra of silver chiral nanostructures on shape, dimensions and incident light by discrete dipole approximation

AbstractExtinction spectra of chiral silver nanostructures are calculated by means of Discrete Dipole Approximation (DDA). Dependence of Plasmonic peaks to both structural parameters of nanostructures and direction of the incident light are obtained. This dependence is investigated on variation of chiral dimensions, chiral shape and direction of incident light. We have observed a resonance peak […]

An analytic algorithm of Lane-Emden-type equations arising in astrophysics – a hybrid approach

AbstractA new analytic algorithm for Lane-Emden equations is proposed in this paper. The proposed algorithm is obtained by using a new iterative method. The new iterative method is a hybrid of variational iteration method and the Adomian decomposition method and further refined by introducing a new correction functional. This new correction functional is obtained from […]

Kaluza-Klein interacting cosmic fluid cosmological model

AbstractIn this paper, we have presented a power law scaling Kaluza-Klein cosmological model dominated by two interacting perfect fluid components during expansion. Barotropic equations of state for pressure and density are considered to get determinate solutions of the field equations. We have shown that the components are not conserved separately because of mutual interaction between […]

Linear energy-momentum tensor for a scalar field in de Sitter space

AbstractIn this work, under a small perturbation of the background metric with the squeezing of other fields (scalar field in our case), the linear form of the energy-momentum tensor is calculated in terms of the perturbation factor. The linear form of the Klein-Gordon equation for a scalar field with both minimally and conformally coupled cases […]

Wigner distribution function of superposed quantum states for a time-dependent oscillator-like Hamiltonian system

AbstractA phase space distribution function of quantum mechanics, so-called the Wigner distribution function (WDF), for superposed states of the general time-dependent oscillator-like Hamiltonian system is investigated. Superposition of not only two different coherent states but also two different squeezed states are considered respectively. Analytical representation of WDF for the superposition states is derived rigorously on […]

Micro-Raman studies on thermally evaporated Ag2Se thin films

AbstractSilver selenide (Ag2Se) thin films of thickness between 80 and 160 nm were prepared by thermal evaporation method. From XRD studies, the structure of the prepared film is confirmed to exhibit orthorhombic structure with polycrystalline nature. The average grain size of Ag2Se has been determined as 43 nm. EDAX spectra of these films were taken, and its […]

The generalized second law of thermodynamics in f(R) gravity for various choices of scale factor

AbstractThe present study is aimed at investigating the validity of the generalized second law (GSL) of thermodynamics in f(R) gravity. Choosing f(R)=R+ξRμ+ζR−ν with ξ,μ,ζ, ν > 0 (following the study of Nojiri and Odintsov in 2003), we have computed the time derivatives of total entropy for various choices of scale factor pertaining to emergent, intermediate, and logamediate […]

Modification of surface properties of bell metal by radiofrequency plasma polymerization

AbstractRadiofrequency (RF) plasma polymerization is a convenient thin film deposition process as it facilitates the synthesis of polymer films with stable physico-chemical properties suitable for various applications in microelectronic, optical, and biomedical fields. The unique properties of these plasma polymerized films as compared to the conventional ones are strongly related to the proper adjustment of […]
